Liquid-Crystalline Systems represent active compounds delivery systems that may be able to overcome the physical barrier of the skin, especially represented by the stratum corneum. To obtain these systems, aqueous and oily ...

The synthesis of a novel kind of form-retaining liquid crystalline crosslinked metallopolymer is reported. Copper(II) is complexed by Schiff's base units as part of a mesogenic side chain polymer. This leads to remarkable ...

Time-resolved photolysis studies of riboflavin (RF) were carried out in the presence and absence of α-, βH- and βL-crystallins of bovine eye lens. The transient absorption spectra, recorded 5 μs after the laser pulse, ...

Over the last decades, increasing water demands have fostered research to obtain high well yields in crystalline terrains where, besides the intrinsic properties of rocks, the groundwater flow depends on several factors. ...

The poly (aryl ether ketones) are used as matrices in advanced composites with high performance due to its high thermal stability, excellent environmental performance and superior mechanical properties. Most of the physical, ...

The mechanisms related to rock-water interaction are important to understand the quality of groundwater. The chemical composition of 38 brands of bottled water from crystalline aquifers located in the South and Southeast ...

Anomalous concentrations of fluoride in groundwater were identified in 19 drilling wells in the Salto-Indaiatuba region, Sao Paulo State, with an average concentration of 3.03 mg dm(-3) and a maximum of 6.95 mg dm(-3), ...
